z 'Muriel Doylel'
She turned quickly, knowing the voice.
1t was Egbert Owen. A smile, that she
was quick to see, came into his face,
and he said, gently:
you have remembered me, then2
'Yes, have remembered you, Mr..
Owen.
'Am I changed2' he asked.
; 'Yes,' she replied slowly, looking
into his face, and smiling into his eyes
that would smile back now. Eyes, you
are happier
Il am happier, Muriel Doyle he re-
spcnded. Then he talked little of the
sea view and the birds, and then he
went away.
But he came again the next day, and
the next, and Muriel learned that he
was staying up at the lonely hotel.
Every day, now, he came to meet her
on the shore and she walked with him
up and down the long, even stretch Of
sand and the hour when they met came
to be the brightest of the long, bright
twenty-four to Muriel. She loved Eg-
bert Owen she did not seek to believe
otherwise.
'Muriel, he said to her one day, when
they sat together by the sea; 'Muriel,
1 am going away next week.
Going away!' Her cheeks grew
pale, and her hand grasped tightly the
bit of stick she was twirling.
'Yes; will you go with me, Muriel.
The color came back to her cheek,
and she looked into his eyes with shy,
soft light in the soft depth of her own,
but she did not speak.
Listen, Muriel, while I tell you my
story he said.
And he held her little brown hand in
his while he told her the story she had
heard before. The story of his unhap-
py love for woman who had been so
false to him, and made his life so sad.
'She is married now,' he added. Il
persume she will be happy with her hus-
band; 1 hope she will. have ceased
to care for her.
Muriel did not tell him then that she
had heard the story before.
'Yes,' answered Muriel.
Mrs. Doyle, who will not go to live
in the city, but likes to visit her daugh-
ter there, insists that the reason she
knows Muriel's husband is little con-
ceited about his handsome face, is be-
cause the only picture in his own room
is a pencil sketch of himself.
'And the frame cost 5000, if you'll
believe me ! she told Mr.. Doyle.

Will You be There.
Beyond this life of hope and fears,
Beyond this world of grief and tears,

Beyond this life of hope and fears,
Beyond this world of grief and tears,
There is region fair;
1t knows no change and no decay
No night. but one unending day;
o, say, will you be there?
Its glorious gates are closed to sin,
Naught that defiles can enter in
To mar its beauty rare;
Upon that bright eternal shore,
Earth's bitter curse is known no more;
0, say, will you be there?
No dropping form, no fearful eye,
No hoary head, no weary sigh,
No pain, no grief, no care;
But joys which mortals may not know,
Like calm river ever flow;
0, say, will you be there?
Our Saviour, once mortal child
AS mortal man, by man reviled,
There many crowns doth wear;
While thousand thousands swell the strain,
Of glory to the Lamb once slain!
O, say, will you be there?
Who shall be there? The lowly here,
All those who serve the Lord with fear,
The worlds proud mockery dare;
Who by the Holy Spirit led,
K Rioice the narrow way to tread
Z. These, these, shall all be there.
Those who have learned at Jesus cross
All earthly gain to count but loss,
So that His love they share;
Who, gazing on the crucifed,
By faith can say, "For me He died"-
These, these, shall all be there.
Will you be there? You shall, you must,
If, hating sin, in Christ you trust;
Who did that place prepare;
Still doth His voice sound sweetly, "Come,
I am the way, I'll lead you home;
With me you shall be there"

Neatness in Dress at Home.
Brooklyn Magazine.


The Importance of neat and tasteful
house dressing cannot be OvereStimated.
The matron who appears before the
members other family in shabby, soiled
wrapper, and makes the excuse-if, in
deed, she takes the trouble to make one
at all-that "it is so much more COM
fortable," has little idea of the possible
consequences of such a course. Could
she but realize that her dress is an evil
example to her daughters, and one pro-
ductive of consequences that will reach
far beyond her own span of life; that
her husband and sons cannot fail to draw
comparisons between her dress and that
of the ladies they meet in other homes,
and that these comparisons cannot fail
to decrease their respect for her, she
might be induced to give more attention
to her personal appearance. Not even
the burden of care and constant employ
ment can furnish sufficient excuse for
careless personal habits, for few things
are more important to the we'll being of
family. There is an old saying to the
effect that an untidy mother has disobe-
dient children; and while neither pa
rents nor children may realize the why or
wherefore oft, yet there is always lack
of respect and an indifference to the
authority ofa mother who takes no pride
in her personal appearance. And it is
not the mother alone upon whose shoul-
ders rest the burden of responsibility for
home neatness and order in dress; the
father has his duties to look after as well,
and should never fail to insist upon the
younger members of the family present
ing themselves with well-kept hands,
clean faces, neatly-brushed hair, and
orderly dress, at least at every meal
where the family assemble.

Seven Wa, $ of Marrying.
Brooklyn Magazine


There are seven separate and distinct
ways in which the nuptial knot may be
tied, the attending expense of the diff
ferent modes varying from one dollar to
one thousand dollars. The least expen-
sive, and the one seldom adopted, ex-
cept in cases of elopement, is that afford
ed by the Justices Office. There a
couple can be firmly united in the space
of minute for small sum. 1t is GUS
tomary for groom to dress as he may
please when the marriage is to be per-
fomed by a justice, and dress-suit
would be sadly out of place in the musty
law. office. The one great advantage
of the justice shop marriage is its cheap
ness.
As some people object to being mar
ried by justice of the peace, preferring
the sanction of the Church in addition
to that of the law, the young people
may visit parsonage instead ofajustice's S
office with the same preparation. The
ceremony may be fully as informal when
performed at the minister's home, the
only difference being that not less than
three dollars, and better still, five or ten
dollars, should be paid for service, al
though there is no fixed sum charged.
The most popular ceremony among peo-
pie who do not class themselves as in
society, and also among many who do,
is quiet home wedding, where the
bride is attired in suit of plain white
or travelling dress, and the groom in
plain black or brown business suit,
where only few friends and relatives
are present. The affair is informal, per-
haps a modest supper or lunch being
served after the ceremony is performed,
and the entire expense to the groom
being covered by twenty dollars, or even
less. This is the most popular wedding
ceremony, and this is the way in which
fully twenty-five per cent of young peo-
pie are married.
Next in point of favor and inexpen-
siveness is the informal church wedding,
being similar in all things except that
the service is performed within the por-
tails of the church. Ifthe affair is strictly
private, the bride and groom may be
unsupported, or have bridesmaids and
groomsmen, as they please. In the lat
ter case full-dress suits should be worn,
increasing the expense. The 'full-dress
wedding as it may be called when the
ceremony is performed at home, is next
in favor. Elaborate trousseau, full dress
suits, bridesmaids and groomsmen, flow
ers in abundance, and host ofinvited
guests are the REQUESTS, followed by a
reception, feast or lunch, as the con-
tracing parties may desire.
The seventh and last, and most pop
ular, is the full-dress affair performed in
church. Among people who desire to
create stir in society this is the favorite.
1t is expensive, and in many cases un-
satisfactory.

Did the Horse Think?

Silden says, mo man is the wiser for
his learning. His wit and wisdom are
born with him. But when dumb beast
knows what sound and signs mean, it is
pretty certain that he has learned what
they mean. Wheather he shows wit
and wisdom in applying his knowledge
is matter of opinion. The Kingston,
N. Y. Freeman says:
While several men were conversing
the other night regarding the intelligence
of animals, one man said he owned
mule once that when blowing recognized
the sound of the dinner-horn. 1t could
distinguish particular horn from all the
other horns in the neighborhood.-
Whenever it heard that horn it would
Immediately raise its voice and COM
mence to bray. Another man said that
once upon time he owned horse on
farm, and that horse, too, became well
acquainted with the sound of the dinner
horn, and if plowing corn, or doing any
work of that kind, the driver would be
forced to stop, unhitch, and take the
horse to dinner, for the animal would
refuse to plow any longer. No matter
how we'll the horse worked, making a
bee line across the fields in running the
plow, its course would be for the gate the
moment it heard the horn. 'Now didn't
that horse think1 And didn't he reason
with himself, that means dinnerP

Bodily Weight at Different
Periods of Life.
Houghtaling's Hand Book.

The weight of the male infant at birth
is pounds avoirdupois; that of the fe-
male is not quite on pounds. The
maximum weight (I4oH pounds of the
male is attained at the age of 40; that
of the female (nearly I24 pounds) is not
attained until So; from which ages they
decline afterward, the male to Is7H
pounds, the female to 100 pounds, nearly
one stone.
The full grown adult is twenty times
as heavy as newborn infant. In the
first year he triples his weight, afterward
the growth proceeds in geometrical pro-
gression, SO that if 50 infants in their
first year weigh 1000 pounds, they will
in the second weigh 1 ,2Io pounds, in the
third 1880 pounds, in the fourth I I,464
pounds, in the fifth remaining very con-
stant up to the ages of II-I2 in females
and 1913 in males, where it must be
continued, and will be found very nearly
correct up to the age of r8 or 1o, when
the growth proceeds very slowly. At
an equality of age the male is generally
heavier than the female. Towards the
age of I2 years only an individual of
each sex has the same weight. The
male attains the maximum weight about
the age of 40, and he begins to lose it
very sensibly toward 60. At 80 he loses
about 1 81 .2328 pounds and the stature
is diminished also inches. Females
attain their maximum weight at about SO.
The mean weight of a mature man is Io4
pounds, and of an average woman 94
pounds. In old age they lose about IL
to IA pounds. Men weigh most at 40,
women at 50, and begin to lose at Co.
The mean weight of both sexes in old age
is that which they had at 1o.
When the male and female have as
sumed their complete development, they
weigh almost 20 times as much as at
birth, while the stature is about 3a
times greater.
Children lose weight during the first
three days after birth; after one year
they triple their weight; then they re-
quire six years to double their weight,
and IS to quadruple it.
About the age of sc the lean man
usually becomes fat, and the lean man
leaner. Again between the years of 43
and SO his appetite fails; his complexion
fades and his tongue is apt to become
furred upon the least exertion of body
and mind. At this period his muscles
became Aabby, his joints weak, his spirits
droop and his sleep is imperfect and un-
refreshing. After suffering under these
complaints year or perhaps two, he
starts afresh with renewed vigor, and
goes on to 81 or 6a, when a similar
change takes place, but with aggravated
symptoms. When these grand periods
have been successfully passed the gravity
of incumbent years is more strongly
marked
